“With a poet’s visionary prose, a scholar’s acuity, and a pilgrim’s devotion, Donald Sheehan offers his reader access to the profound, compelling stillness at the heart of all things. He proves an exceedingly good guide along the way.” -Scott Cairns, author of Slow Pilgrim: Collected Poems

“I am dead certain that my response to this volume will chime with those of others whose work is held up to the light in The Grace of Incorruption. On beholding Donald Sheehan’s elucidation of our efforts, in one beautiful sentence after another, we must share the uncanny sense of never having understood our own hearts– not until we saw them reflected in the great heart (and mind) of this nonpareil commentator. Don Sheehan did not merely understand poetry; it was part and parcel of his own great soul.” -Sydney Lea, Vermont Poet Laureate

“Don Sheehan was not only a fine interpreter of poetry, but a poet himself, working in the medium of prose. The essays in this volume capture the spirit of loving attentiveness -- never lacking in form -- for which Don ardently strove, and which characterized his approach to art, to other people, and to God.” -Fr. Matthew Baker, Fordham University
